Thinking of heading out to Smeaton grange (a whole 5km away...) on Sunday to take a look and see what it's all about.Anyone confirm if this is on this weekend?Am I going to catch the racing bug?SHould I take some cash with me in case I do and require a license?

Good to hear your thinking of coming out this weekend.Yes it's on.Yes you may catch the racing bug.Yes bring some cash to purchase a day license ($15) if you do decide to race. Oh, it's also $10 for race entry fee. If you do decide to join the club, the $15 is refunded.

I would consider just going a full licence. Apart from the insurance that you get with the licence, MCCC have a great bunch of guys and as I understand it, organise frequent rides. so you never have to ride alone again!

I understand we got tangled up in your final sprint, but honestly, no one informed us you were coming through. Next thing we know, the expletives are flying.

Hope the rain stays away for you. Good luck.

Kev.

Ha, no abuse from me, I was just shouting "riders" so that there wouldn't be any sudden moves resulting in stacks. I think it was more the guys behind that wanted to try to pass during the sprint but had no space to do so.

For those who normally race at Smeaton Grange, racing has been cancelled this weekend (Dec 4th) due to local business activities that would see multiple cars on the circuit from 8am.It has been decided that this presents too much risk to rider safety, so we have cancelled racing and moved the series back by one week.

Last race the last lap D and B were together. However, both grades communicated with one another and there was no hassles.
